  • Choose and populate short or long plaintext commit templates from repository assets, enforcing title length and formatting constraints.
  • Provide consultative prompts to gather missing context, link issues when applicable, and ensure safe, read-only git reconnaissance for message generation.

FAQPage Schema
How do I generate conventional commit messages from staged git changes?▼

You can generate conventional commit messages by analyzing staged git diffs and recent repository history. This process automatically determines the appropriate commit type, scope, and body while enforcing project formatting constraints like a 50-character imperative title limit.

Does this commit message generator support both short and long commit templates?▼

Yes, the commit message generator supports both short and long templates. It selects and populates plaintext templates stored in repository assets based on your specific staged changes and project conventions.

How do I link issue numbers in automated conventional commit messages?▼

To link issue numbers in conventional commit messages, the generator uses consultative prompts to gather missing context. It analyzes recent commits and staged diffs to safely reference issues when applicable during message generation.

Can I use conventional commit message automation in CI-assisted git workflows?▼

You can use this commit message automation in local git workflows and CI-assisted scenarios. It performs read-only git reconnaissance to ensure titles, scopes, and bodies follow project conventions without modifying repository state.

What is the character limit for conventional commit titles when formatting staged diffs?▼

The character limit for conventional commit titles is 50 characters. The generator enforces this imperative title limit strictly when formatting staged diffs into plaintext-only output.
